Italian cameo bracelet representing the days of the week, corresponding to the planets as Roman gods: Diana as the Moon for Monday, Mars for Tuesday, Mercury for Wednesday, Jupiter for Thursday, Venus for Friday, Saturn for Saturday, and Apollo as the Sun for Sunday. Middle 19th century, Walters Art Museum
The names of the days of the week in many languages are derived from the names of the classical planets in Hellenistic astrology, which were in turn named after contemporary deities, a system introduced in the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity. In some other languages, the days are named after corresponding deities of the regional culture, either beginning with Sunday or with Monday. In the international standard ISO 8601, Monday is treated as the first day of the week.

Culturally this is actually why the 'week' is known as Monday to Friday (since that's what days most people would be at work/school) and the 'weekend' is Saturday and Sunday (because most people are off work/school, at the end of the week) - because culturally, most people are raised considering the working week as the correct layout of a week, as opposed to the more 'traditional' week.

Where you from probably don't follow a calendar & business week. that don't mean the rest of the world is the same. get out of your bubble

how we perceive time is not set in stone, it's more of a cultural thing. the Chines celebrate the new year at a different time to the western world. are you going to say they are a nation of drunks too?

you have access to the internet, if you would just take time to look up different countries on timeanddate.com you would see that some countries start the week on Sunday and others start the week on Monday but we all know if some one tells us on a Sunday afternoon that we are going to get something this week, they don't mean "you will get it Today". so stop being anal about it.

because by both, there calendars the week starts on a Sunday. It's just a difference between religion and the business world. So don't play stupid, you know exactly which week the writer is talking about. so don't make a issue out of it.

Roy, 26 Feb 2017In most of the calendar, week starts from Sunday by default. So what's wrong in this?Every week starts on Monday. Even work weeks and paycheck weeks. Sunday is the last day of the week, not the first.
